"Fine Line" is expressive and triumphant in its execution and is a fantastic way to cap off a sonic and lyrical journey through the giddiness of new love, the tragedy of love lost and the path to self-acceptance that Mr. Styles has invited his listeners on. Well done!… Expand

The album carries heavy influences from legends such as Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, and Queen. Although taking inspiration, Styles does not try to copy his influencers, but rather, infuse their styles with his own.… Expand

The songs Fine Line and Treat People With Kindness seem to be pretty underrated for how incredible they both are. TPWK is a completely different sound from anything Harry has ever made and the positivity and happiness of it is just too great. To Be So Lonely is also so unique, cute and heartbreaking all at once, and easily became my personal favourite of the album. Overall, so happy to see how far Harry has come since the start of One Direction.… Expand

One of my personal favorites are Cherry, She and Fine Line. Starting off with Cherry, I was in tears within the first 20 seconds but once it got to the voicemail is when the water works came. I mean wow. Balls is what he has. Moving on to She. She is something. She is Woman’s older more badass sister. She was an absolute masterpiece. The icing on the cake was the guitar solo. I still have to replay because it’s just that GOOD. Wow. Moving on to the last song on the album, Fine Line. I don’t want to dive too deep into this song but all I can say is “we’ll be alright”. That’s a beautiful way to end such a heartfelt album. My god Mr. Styles. You’ve done it again. Thank you!… Expand

    At times funky pop, folky rock, or classic ballad, there’s a song (or more) here for every mood, but somehow it all hangs together really well! A lot of the themes revolve around loneliness or break ups but it’s a very joyful album.

    Free of the shackles that hobbled his debut, Styles manages to show more of his personality here, especially on the Vampire Weekend-style Sunflower, Vol. 6. It's just a shame he can't quite keep up with his ambition. [Feb 2020, p.110]

    Fine Line is entirely inoffensive, but it’s also open-ended, and maybe those questions are the reward. Maybe Harry Styles just wants to keep us guessing.

    Fine Line proves that the musician has absorbed the best lesson passed down by California’s great musicians: Don’t be afraid to take chances within a folk- or pop-rock framework, as that’s how you create iconoclastic music that endures.
